One more thing...

[Riven]

He kept his smile.

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled and kissed his forehead. "Get some rest."

 

[Riven]

He shook his head, "Not if you aren't."

 

[No More Pretending]

"Stubborn..." She teased.

 

[Riven]

He simply gave a cheeky smile, "Get used to it love."

 

[No More Pretending]

She sat up. "I think I'm going to walk to the park."

 

[Riven]

He smiled as he sat up, "I'll come along."

 

[No More Pretending]

"If ya want to..." She murmured.

 

[Riven]

"Do you not want me to?", he asked, confused.

 

[No More Pretending]

"I honestly want to make sure you get enough rest."

 

[Riven]

He sighs. "Just stay safe and watch yourself alright?", he asks as he lies back down after kissing her cheek.

 

[No More Pretending]

She gave him a soft peck on the lips. "I'll carry pepper spray and call you if things go awry.

 

[Riven]

He smiles and nods as he sighs again, lying down back on the pillow.

 

[No More Pretending]

She went and walked around for an hour, coming back and slipping into bed.

 

[Riven]

He continued to sleep as he rolled to the other side, facing the side as he felt her come in back onto the bed, giving her more room.

 

[No More Pretending]

The woman wrapped her arms around him. She closed her eyes and buried her face in his neck, feeling comforted by his warmth.

 

[Riven]

He smiled in his sleep as he put his arms around hers, snoring quietly.

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled, but didn't sleep. The girl laid like that until sunlight wafted through the windows.

 

[Riven]

He continued to sleep, regardless of light he rolled over to where he faces her, wrapping his arms around her comfortably as he sleeps.

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled, wiggling out of his grasp carefully.

 

[Riven]

He smiled as he opened his eyes slowly, chuckling. "Hey there."

 

[No More Pretending]

"Hey," she murmured, kissing his cheek. "How did you sleep?"

 

[Riven]

"Fine I guess", he replied in a low whisper. "Not the same without you though", he replied with a smile.

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled softly. "As long as you slept.

 

[Riven]

He shrugged, "Fair enough." He smiled as he kissed her on the cheek gently.
